The Alone Australia Season 3 Cast: Where Are They Now

Spoiler note: this post covers the outcome of Alone Australia season 3, including who won.

Season 3 of Alone Australia sent ten contestants into the West Coast Range of lutruwita/Tasmania, and it turned into the deepest field the Australian version had produced: three people passed day 70, and the winner set what was then the longest run of any completed season in the whole franchise. The $250,000 AUD prize came down to who could avoid a medical stoppage. Here is the full cast in finishing order.

Placement	Contestant	Days lasted
1	Shay Williamson	76
2	Murray "Muzza" James	73
3	Corinne Ooms	70
4	Tom Covell	47
5	Ben Grieger	40
6	Karla Pound	35
7	Yonke van Geloven	31
8	Ceilidh Marigold	19
9	Eva Angophora	17
10	Matt Allwood	16

The three who passed day 70

Shay Williamson, a 30-year-old professional possum trapper from Whakatāne, New Zealand, won at 76 days on a diet of eels, fish, plants and worms, with a pademelon catch around day 67 carrying him through the final stretch. As of mid-2026 he is reported to be back home in New Zealand with his wife Abby and their young daughters, having said he used the prize money to pay down his mortgage. Our full Shay Williamson profile covers his post-show life in more detail.

Murray "Muzza" James, at 63 the oldest contestant in the series' history to that point, was the season's most consistent hunter and fisher, and was medically evacuated on day 73 with dangerously low blood pressure. Corinne Ooms, a food safety consultant and foraging specialist, chose her own ending on day 70: she declared her journey complete, said she wanted to go home and start a family, and marked the moment by playing a guitar she had built in camp.

The middle of the field

Tom Covell, an ecologist born without a right hand and an expert fisher, left on day 47 after losing roughly 21 kilograms, despite being medically cleared to continue. Ben Grieger, an English teacher and former A-Grade SANFL footballer, was evacuated on day 40 as his blood pressure dropped. Karla Pound, an expedition leader and former helicopter pilot, tapped on day 35 after realising she needed human connection more than the prize, and Yonke van Geloven, a farmer and permaculturalist, left on day 31, saying the cameras prevented the connection to the land she had come for.

The early exits

Ceilidh Marigold, a carpenter and former national BMX champion who has been deaf since birth, was evacuated on day 19 with a suspected infection linked to lake water. Eva Angophora, a rewilding facilitator who lives off-grid, tapped on day 17 after persistent hunger and empty fishing lines, and Matt Allwood, an Indigenous youth worker and former NRL player, went home to his family on day 16. Public reporting on most of the non-finalists since the season is thin, so we have kept their entries to who they were and how their runs ended.
